Into the old iconic art
THE IMAGES found to the left characterise and personify certain "things" from that sort of lore that matters to very many: fiction. They may be called handy all the same.The images pertain to the iconic or emblematic arts from long ago. There are very many secrets in the rich suggestions they may present.
Now, good "things" found had better be used to serve us. And unless and until they can get into the grasp and realm of the common man, wherever that one may be, they may never function fairly well, just as Noble Prizemen like Erwin Schroedinger and some others were into. [Thd 27]
Handy imagery may be seen as one of the finest helpers of mankind. The reasons can be very many. We have to rise into that understanding, and yet - minor children can learn from images and profit from them a lot all the same. We should allow for that.
Look into the rich images found by clicking on the numbers 1 through 20 to the left, in the green column. They saying is they tie in - more or less indirectly - with handy outlooks from ancients. We love this old star lore.
An array of master images to think and feel into
WELCOME to the array of words against floundering. They can be quite allied to Medieval
and maybe ancient lore too.The various expressions below can be looked on as adages, maxims of wisdom, proverbial statements. We suggest that for your greatest benefit they are considered solely in the light of the fronted Tarot image; it is in the upper left column. Feel free to read and interpret each of them as a quite independent comment. That organised approach enlarges one's perspectives and why not the interpretive skills as well - if given a fair, solid try.
This presentation could help in developing judiciousness.
Know as well that we have arranged this cavalcade of wisdom tenets to conform to fairy tale wisdom at large too. There are schemes that explain it, one is fairly close to a systemic plan by Algirdas Greimas, the Lithuen-born, former minister of education in France. Now, good luck. - The Gold Scales.
Taming is had from studies
THERE ARE good studies and other studies and also bad studies. One had better link up with good lore and find food for thought inside it.In the realm of thinking, some have thoughts of others thrust on them, others develop their own thinking abilities. These tho ways may be combined, and most often should. Handy sayings often hint at wisdom, that is, there can be wisdom underneath them.
Good thinking may be developed through stages. It should form part of growing up. Traditions from all major cultures have presented artistic sayings that at the same time reflect sagacity adapted locally; great humour, and little less that that.
Apart from the word-painted imagery in proverbs and other facets of folklore, some essentials get painted and perhaps sculpturer. This took place in Greece long ago, and in many other regions and nations.
Great sayings and maxims form parts of art. And they could assist humour now and perhaps ease the way into better and better thinking "tomorrow" - manjana, at least to some. And did you know that art can bring healing into your life as time goes by? The evidence is fairly insistent, but there are many limits to that as well as to most other things.
You can check for yourself in one of many ways:
- Here is a significant data base,
it should be tackled through staunch professionalism - that is sound wisdom: [Check]
- Besides, CNN has popularised some research findings centred on the use of visualisation or uses of mental images, mainly - the methods might have good effects if used for fun in the first place - "the sooner the better". Artistic development is seen even in preschool children, and should be. That's one point. Victor Lowenfeldt has written good and interestingly concerning it. [Alle Barn kan tegne]. The research from other fields too document there can be huge and astonishing good effects of forming this and that artistically or delicately for oneself, so there isn't one use of sound imagery in education and one for living. They are parts of man's inherent, native abilities and need to be developed. [Check]
Great images that you call forth mentally, may and may not work best. It depends. Research has shown that it's good to get calm and relaxed first. And in addition to this we say: "You can paint". Art has substantial benefits too, even dramatic ones too. Dr. O. Carl Simonton has brought together evidence that proper artistic labour may help combatting cancer. [Du kan bli frisk] s 60-90]
If sound art outlets bring help in traumatic circumstances, it might pay to go for some forms of art the sooner the better, for they say "prevention is better than cure". That's one formidable point these days. Another is that the fun of making things out through images or other forms of art, makes life more worth living. It may add some lighthearted spontaneity too.
Apart from many possible benefits from look at images, trying to recall them mentally and produce symbols oneself, the form of artistic imagery we have gathered here, is high-class in itself. Thus, have your looks into images that reveal or reflect ancient arts, even old, established forms of understanding. Great wisdom could lie underneath much, as the images presented here, tie in with how some of the ancients conceived of the great wide universe and ourselves entangled within its affairs somehow. Besides we say that brightness of mind, humour, art and solid wisdom can all be developed, and perhaps fairness as well.
Candid sayings often need a look askance
No lack of items
FOR EACH little chapter served on this site, there is a little deal or three involved. Tt may pay first to look into the wonderful little image to the left. It is very expressive. And what is more, it can reflect old cosmology, in part from ancient Egyptians. We hold this view: These images tie in with hoary sagaciousness through displays fit for wisdom or good fares - it can be both.But we may leave roots aside for the visual image in itself, per se, and have a good look at it. It is tied in to Kabbalah understanding of the fields or walks of life we're supposed to be inside.
Now, one can find a lot things to express concerning visual or structurally coded visual (emblematic) art, and the small images in the upper left corner are items emblematic art. It means they can display something that is more or less figurative some way or other, or in more than one way. Visual symbols can mean many things, and perhaps diffeent things to different families and groups of people. That is in part tied in with the American, novel proverb:
"An image says more than a thousand words". [See Ap]
If so, it is because it can be understood in many different ways that can branch off into fairly divergent avenues and further. And from this branching off of visual art or visual symbol teachings, we have a gate to blossoms - that is to more or less individual, image-triggered understanding and insights that can be tied in with the symbol teachings.
We have just the same sort of approach in literature analysis. Great poems can contain word-paintings, that is images through wordings, and at times they are lifted up into symbols and analogies, at least to some interpreters. As it is stated in the first section (loggion) of The Gospel of Thomas, much depends on interpretation. That's how it is. [Check]
It is much the same with visual art. It can represent, and it may even represent in one or more added keys through hints, overtones, inunendoes or programmed display "machinery" that is reflected in choice of items, how they are placed and made use of, and so on. Tarot images are iconic art, rich in established or half-established symbols that were made use of, and we see links to ancient Egypt in them. Those hints are many and fairly consistent. However, it takes some academi study to discern in these waters. We leave that road open for now. You're supposed to forge (add) fit reservations to any proposition that you stiffen by. Here is how to learn it - it's an entry, a sluice-gate into modern academic-looking reservations.
It should pay a whole lot according to the saying "An image says more than a
thousand words". It is only poetically fit to say so. And the understanding is had from
knowing symbols and ideograms too; it's not a piece of cake to think into ancient imagery.
From then on, read as you like, go on as your zest lets you.
The proverbial sayings and maxims below contain maxims, bon mots, and many are
shaped as discreet couplets and aphoristic utterances. The page is designed to help skilled
thinking into fairly generalised thinking.
It's not out of haughtiness we decree "remember, text and
image hand in hand", for they complete one another and may enlarge our understanding
if we let that happen. The image is at least to be thought of during any reading, as this
page explores just that way of meditations. The good method is much akin to strict
contemplation on art in the Catholic Church.
Tributaries
What is expressed below, is gist. We've taken pains to express mainly central strains from the heritage. Parts were carefully gleaned from what are called "best traditions". Now it is meted out or sold out in one syncretic and solidly synergetic opus for the first time ever. See if you find anything as encompassing as it.What we study here, is a unificative approach to life outlets on earth in general. The basis of this study is ancient wisdom. Parts go back to Chaldea. Other parts stem from other sources, and Utopia was not one of them. All is now made to serve a more unified wisdom than ever before. Good tributaries include:
- Mayan or Aztec cosmology inside the impressive saced calendars of theirs.
- I Ching extracts - excellent food for thought
- Very much nature-linked, mind-and-body-confluent Babylonian-Chaldean cosmology.
- Egyptian-linked Tarot - the best.
- Egyptian-rooted, Kabbalistic star wisdom - the second best.
- Gist from so-called Sabian understanding has been evolved as well - interesting and fit only if thoroughly studied
These parts of one distinct systemic plotting, are brought together inside one unified scheme. We have often called that basic scheme King Kong's cosmology.
The unified way, King Kong's cosmogram
Basically, it's a groundbreaking, novel gridwork that allows for more synergetic cosmic-matrix understanding than was possible before. The King Kong schemes were devised completely from bottom during extensive travels - such as in Scancinavia. What is called psychograms were there too, and outlooks into id thinking.We prefer the phenomenological outlook in general. The maxims may be linked to natural phenomena all right - they were so designed, and the tarot images hightlight that again. You should be aware that the numbers allotted to the tarot cards are not of our making. They come from the study of these cards in a university writing by Dr. Sigurd Agrell.
Others have done things differently, we have unified it all, much as in acupuncture, but on top a differently made matrix. Now, feel free to call the universal concoction star wisdom if other terms offend.
Hats off
The page design is made very, very plain, so that eleven years old boys can profit from what is spelt out. The image is at least to be thought of during any reading, as this page explores just that way of meditations.Take a look and see for yourself. The sayings could include really sensible outlooks into things and be worth sniffing at over and over for one's increased benefits as time goes by. It has to be explored. the beginner can or should be able to see for herself or himself that what is highlighted is in consonance with the image in the margin, and could be very true or plausible from certain angles and in some settings - and not all the others. That's how many sayings are, in a nutshell. They can eventually assist handling though enlarged thinking "vocabulary". It could happen.
Faith in this and that is not asked for in this approach to fairly universalised thinking. Just let image and expressed ideas be allowed to effect you steadily for an hour each day, and note the difference after - say - four weeks or months. Enjoy its other boons as well. One is in the art of folkwise expressions. The best so far - till much substantial study may verify stuff, may be sound-looking help to steer well. That's very often needed.
Way to go -
1
One should go for wisdom and sagacious counsel that is smart enough
to help tidying up things a whole lot. Expertise is served by that. However, initially it
may be laughed at among crooks.
Greatly protective of those close to her heart, some affairs are comprimises to help
that.An excellent employee can remain calm for most part, maybe through carrying pain for a long time.
Who masters juvenile poses and can gather and assemble outfit and items fairly well for most part, can be looked up to as an artist. Besides, great tenderness needs just as great tact and may be fond of symbolic outfit and many such items.
Even good and brave motherhood may get affected by memory-helping items, affairs and compromises we may not talk of.
2 Fair counsel had better help us increase our needed assets
somehow.
